Behold the Lamb

The Story of the Moravian Church

by Peter Hoover

If you have heard of Moravians-persecuted Christians that fled to Germany
in the early 1700s-you most likely know of their prayer meeting that
lasted one hundred years, their missions to Greenland, to the native
Americans, to Suriname, the Virgin Islands, or India's Malabar Coast. But
quite likely you heard less, or nothing, of the story behind those wonders
of faith and perseverance. Through everything the Moravians accomplished
around the world shines an infinitely greater wonder-that of the Lamb of
God for sinners slain. Perhaps, through reading this book, you may catch
glimpses of that "greater wonder" and find yourself inspired to live and
do like they did in our time.
